The church remains faithful to its God-given calling by standing firmly on God’s truth, appointing qualified leaders, and protecting sound doctrine. Once that foundation is laid, how can we remain healthy and continue advancing God’s mission for generations to come?
Acts narrates the birth of the Church, sent to the ends of the earth as a movement of disciple-makers who will lead the world in the Word. How can the church remain faithful to its mission in a world that constantly pressures it to compromise?
Obedience to the Lord leads to opposition from the World. It isn’t an obstacle to our mission, but the very arena where it thrives.
We live in a culture where it is fairly easy to call ourselves “Christians” and never be changed by Christ. It is possible to grow up around the church, know the language of faith, and still lack a faith that endures, obeys, and transforms. How does God grow authentic followers of Christ into spiritual maturity?
How to remain faithful when reality hits, and enthusiasm fades?
Either Christ is Lord of all or he is not Lord at all. Jesus will not tolerate nice
titles and a good place among many in the pantheon of our idolatrous allegiances. Christ was born to be supreme and the sole ruler of our hearts. The world will not take kindly to that but it doesn’t matter how hard the world tries, Jesus is and will always be supreme for he is King of kings and Lord of lords. Are you ready to surrender your life to him?
